Boko Haram, Benghazi, and the Mexican drug war

Mark Schroeder & Fred Burton, Stratfor

May 30, 2014 -- This week on "Fed Access", Mark Schroeder, vice president of
Africa analysis at Stratfor,
joins host Derrick Dortch to give us an update on the terrorist group Boko Haram
that is now operating in Nigeria.

The group made national news when it kidnapped nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls and
threatened to sell them into slavery. Schroeder will discuss that incident and the
challenges the Nigerian government faces in locating the girls. He will also talk
about how this affects U.S. foreign policy in the West African nation.

Later in the show, Fred Burton, vice president of Intelligence for Stratfor, will
discuss the ongoing investigation of the terrorist attacks on two U.S. compounds in
Benghazi Libya, where four Americans were killed.
